Moshe Pinski's contribution, Herut
Upon arriving in Herut in 1945, Gershon Pinski began developing the agricultural farm. He established a mixed farm with a citrus grove, vegetable crops, a poultry house, and even a bee apiary. He likely had prior experience in beekeeping from his childhood in Brazil. He brought the first swarm of bees from Kibbutz Hama'apil in the Hefer Valley, and later purchased queens from Kibbutz Ein Hamifratz, thus expanding the apiary.
When Moshe (Moishe) returned to the farm from his military service in 1965, they significantly increased the size of the apiary, eventually reaching around 200 hives.
The apiary was active until 1990, at which point they decided to discontinue this agricultural branch because it was no longer sufficiently profitable. They then began developing a flower cultivation branch instead.
With the establishment of the Tractor Museum and its transformation into an agricultural heritage center, and with the encouragement of Zama Zamir, and when a suitable building became available at the museum, Moishe and his family decided to transfer the apiary and all the honey extraction equipment there. Their aim was to preserve, commemorate, and present their agricultural activities to the public.
